YOU could hear the cheers from Canadians in the Rio Grande Valley as their national olympic team defeated the US team for the gold in Vancouver, British Columbia! Yes, the wind was strong...but the Canadians were louder!
The Eh Canadian team beat the USA hockey team 3 to 2 in overtime!
Canadian hero? Sidney Crosby!

WILL PIFFER SAYS...
*WILL PIFFER is a gay conservative who blogs from cyberspace. The following is his opinion not the opinion of rgvpost.com
I believe that Chile will not get the outpouring of support and sympathy that Haiti got when an earthquake ravaged their nation.
What do you think?

ELTON JOHN SAID WHAT?!?
Recently Elton John said Jesus was gay. Sorry, Rocketman...you are wrong.
EJ is no dummy! Had he made a nasty comment against Islam...he would be in big trouble. We are talking Salman Rushdie/Danish cartoonist trouble here. Dangerous.

THE PENTAGON WILL ALLOW MILITARY PERSONNEL ONLINE!
Right before I had my first cup of coffee I listened to the 5:00 AM news on the radio and heard that the Pentagon will allow our military access to facebook, twitter, and myspace. Social networking now allowed! Nice. Still off-limits: porn sites and hate websites. No racist sites.
The big generales decided that social networks were "good" and besides they can utilize it for recruiting. Good for them.
I just hope our military men and women use the internet responsibly. Don't give out any sensitive information.
Back when I was in the military we were shown black and white videos of how we should keep our mouths shut about leaking troop movements or anything deemed "sensitive." We were encouraged to use our brains!
No duh!
Hopefully, the Pentagon will not regret the decision they made!

FROM SWEETHEART TO JUDAS....SENATOR SCOTT BROWN?
TYPICAL of the Republicans to go berserk because Massachusettes Senator Scott Brown voted for President Obama's job bill! OOO, he was the honey child...the sweetheart at first. Out of state funds for his campaign failed to secure his "loyalty"! Apparently. ?
No, he is not a Judas. He just can think for himself. He is being a politician! He is not a lock-step zombie. No Kool Aid for him please!
The funny thing is that Republicans like to say that "we" should vote for the best candidate...not the party. They seem to suggest that they are not partisan. Yeah, right and the Pope is not Catholic! Of course the Pontiff is Catholic and yes, Virginia the Republicans in question are PARTISAN!
Read between the lines...read my lips: They are partisan!
Hip, hip...hooray for Scott Brown for using his vote and his mind!
He will vote with his party if he thinks it serves the people.
The other Republicans that voted with the Democrats are: Olympia Snow and Susan Collins of Maine, George Voinovich of Ohio, and Christopher "Kit" Bond of Missouri.
Seems the tea party is out of biscuits.....

NASTY POLITICS
The battle between Oscar Garza and Joseph Palacios is getting nasty! I saw a political campaign ad for Garza last night featuring OWL. The little old ladies do not hold back! Tying Palacios to Naughty Sylvia Handy and alleging Palacios wasted our money!?!
Will Palacios hit back with little old ladies of his own?

ANY BANDS INTERESTED IN PLAYING AT JAVA GIRLS IN PHARR, TEXAS?
We keep asking the folks at JAVA GIRLS at 4000 N. Jackson in Pharr, Texas just south of The Monitor when they will have live music and get a negative response. No one is stepping up!
So come on! Let's get some live music there!
Would your band play for pay or for the joy of it...for the exposure? For free if need be?
Sure, money talks but exposure helps!

FAROUK SHAMI FOR TEXAS GOVERNOR!
FAROUK SHAMI is the American Dream personified. An immigrant makes it in America! A proven businessman willing to put his money into a gubernatorial race! 100,000 jobs in 2 years OR he RESIGNS~! WOW! MEGA-WOW! SHAMI-WOW!
Can Shami defeat Bill White? The former mayor of Houston seems the man of destiny. The Democrat's knight in shining armor to more than likely tangle with the Republican's ninja extreme....Governor Rick Perry!
White vs Perry would seem the obvious political wrestling match!
Shami brings imagination and inspiration to the whole pachanga!
A man outside the system to battle the system...hmmm...sounds intriguing!]
YOU decide!
Vote!
Voten!

TEA FOR THE ECONOMY?
THERE we were rolling in the good old days with our booze and our soda. Then one day...POP! AND: it was not a weasel...unless you are referring to Bernie Madoff! The economy took a nasty fall in the ring! Lights out. 8 count. Folks lost money and jobs.
Now we can either continue on our usual path or start drinking tea.
Politically and literally!
Vote! You can vote for a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian, a Librarian. The point is vote!

SWEET RAIN!
I got my Sunday dose of 60 Minutes. I watched The Amazing Race, and Undercover Boss before I went into my kitchen office to work on one of 3 projects.
The cold front came screaming in at about 11:30 pm. I knew I had to hit the sack or come into work looking and feeling like a zombie.
I am not getting any younger!
When I jumped out of bed at 4:12 AM I felt the cold chill in the air. It must have been in the 40's. I know it was not a cool 90 degrees Fahrenheit!!
I stepped outside and saw puddles on the ground! It must have rained as I snored through the night!
We have had so much rain! GOD is definitely watching out for our needs!
HE must think we are nuts because we complain about the weather all the time! It is either too hot or too cold.

If only we had NFL Europe! Canadian football?
Ah, withdrawal symptoms.

TEA PARTY FAVORS?
There was an interesting opinion piece on the Tea Party Movement where the writer wondered if Sarah Palin was using the grassroots movement to further her political career and the fortunes of the Republican Party.
The writer thinks that the Tea Party folks are being played by Palin and the GOP because the Reps are part of the system they want to change!
We think the Tea Partyers are smarter than that!
Pass the sugar please!

PALACES OF POWER (PALACIOS DE PODER)
JOSEPH PALACIOS is challenging Hidalgo County Precinct 4 Commissioner Oscar Garza. It should be an interesting election! This is like a prize fight.
We need to exercise our right to vote! Don't just sit on the sidelines! Get involved!
We are not endorsing anyone in this race. We are just happy that someone will challenge Mr. Garza. Sometimes politicians get too comfy when they face no opposition.
Garza has a smart political commercial where he calls himself "codo" as in cheap..a man who watches his money and how it is spent. He makes a valid point.
Joseph Palacios seems like a capable individual to challenge Garza. His ad in The Monitor is to the point. If you check out his web page at: www.josephpalacios.com it gives you more pertinent information about him. Very informative.
For Osar Garza's website please go to www.voteoscargarza.com Please take a look at both sites and by all means VOTE!
INTERESTING NOTE: Joseph Palacios worked as a zone manager for The Monitor in its Circulation Department. Anyone who can work in the trenches with district managers, newspaper carriers, and Circulation types has seen service issues! We give him credit for getting his hands dirty!
He is from the powerful Palacios Family of Edinburg.
It should be an interesting election!!

IS THE KOOL AID SPIKED?
It was rather odd to hear conspiracy songs coming from a Republican. Debra Medina who is seeking the GOP nomination to tangle with the Democrat's nommer for Governor of the Lone Star State thinks the "govmint" had something to do with 9/11! She said as much on Glenn Beck's show.
There goes her shot at representing the Republicans!
Later attempts to re-explain her thoughts were met with skeptcism.

THE DREAM TEAM FOR 2012?
PALIN/BROWN 2012? SARAH PALIN AND SENATOR SCOTT BROWN FOR AMERICA? Why not? Palin is better off with the Massachusettes Republican than with any other GOP poster boy!
This political tag team could take the championship belt from B & J who are the current leftist lovable tag teamers in 2012!

WILL MCALLEN POLICE OFFICER KEEP HIS JOB?
McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez must decide what to do about a police officer who was charged with DWI.
Will Officer Alex Alvarez keep his job? Should he keep his job? Does the McAllen Police Department have a zero tolerance for DWI?
All good questions.
The Valley seems to have a higher number of drunk drivers. It is bad enough that they get slapped on the wrist.
Hopefully our law enforcement officials can all go zero tolerance!

THE LITTLE MAC?
McDonald's Big Mac is very tasty. Their secret ingredients are what drive the burger to Taste Bud Heaven.
Still....the burger is not that BIG...it is more like a little mac.
Such thoughts crossed my mind at 3:00 AM.

HOME OF THE BRAVE?
The thought of having Al Qaeda terrorists stand trial on American soil has some citizens scared! They worry that security will not be adequate.
Hogwash! We can provide excellent security for those trials! Al Qaeda terrorists should stand trial in the United States of America! They after all wanted to do us harm and have done us harm!
Is this not the LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE?
We can do it! AND we should!

3 AMERICANS INJURED IN PAKISTAN
We were under the impression that we did not have troops of any sort in Pakistan! We just read that 3 Americans were injured as they accompanied Pakistani forces.
Nice. We are taking the fight to Al Qaeda in Pakistan.
